Why would you have downtime ????

Your site is on server1 , with original dns serving it to surfers
Site is also on server2, with new dns.

You switch DNS at the registrar level to the new dns. Depending on location and cache of worldwide dns, surfers either go to server1 or to server2. Full propagation can take up to 48 hours, but most of it is done in 2 - 5 hours.

Sites are never down ...
